I removed the leading dot. The 2000 played the video, but no sound.Not sure what is happening. I will do a test and come back to you.
I copied a short recording to USB storage, removed the dot from .recordings and attepted to play it on an HDR-FOX T2 and it played fine with audio and video. I tried both audio settings (multi-channel or stereo) and both worked. Unfortunately I won't have access to our HDR-2000T until after the lockdown ends. Maybe EEPhil could repeat the experiment as I have no ideas why it isn't working for you; sorry.

I am trying to repeat the experiment with a very short (1 minute) programme.
However, I'm getting nowhere slowly. For reasons I don't understand it has taken me over 1.5 hours to not transfer the 1 minute programme to USB. I'm now trying a different USB device and getting the same problem. (I usually move things around a different way!)| Thu 23 Apr 2020 16:57:02 #13 | -

Don't understand "try copying it to somewhere eles on the USB memory stick."
Do I copy from the 5000 to the USB, then via my computer copy the program to another file?Freeview-HD uses a different Audio codec to the usual Dolby Digital (AAC) . Both units will transcode on playback to Dolby Digital. Guessing the 2000T can't do this for recordings made on a 5000T,

It seems as though the problem I had was which USB port I used on the 5000T. With the rear port things appeared to move quickly. I renamed the .recordings folder and inserted into a 2000T and the programme played properly with sound (both audio settings). I even checked the connection to the TV. My 5000T is connected by HDMI cable but, as the TV has only 1 HDMI port, the 2000T is usually connected using RCA connectors. I changed that for the HDMI connection and that also worked.

That's a possibility. I only checked a programme on Talking Pictures TV.
Perhaps better look at 5USA+1 or similar.| Thu 23 Apr 2020 17:26:33 #16 | -
There is another way depending on how much the recordings are worth to you.
If you set the 5000T to output PCM stereo, you can connect a digital modulator to the 5000T HDMI out. This will create a single DVD-T HD mux with stereo sound that the 2000T can tune to (HD models with DVB-T2 are backwards compatible with HD DVB-T. You should be able to record this in real time on the 2000T.
Cheaper models are available without the HDMI loop through and Infra red remote control.

5USA+1 also works. Of course it is not possible to try this with any of the actual HD channels as they don't decrypt on copy/move from the 5000T to USB device.

I don't ever record in HD.
The first recording that wasn't recognised on the HDR2000T was from the Food Program, channel 41. The second was from Quest, channel 12.
I haven't tried the rear USB port.
The recordings aren't of any importance, it's just that we move rooms according to the sunshine (which is often, this month) and we record everything, so we can use the commercial skip.
I will try the rear USB port tomorrow.| Thu 23 Apr 2020 18:43:33 #20 |
